Solve the simultaneous equation: 3x+y =-4 and 3x-4y=6

The first step would be to rearrange the first equation to make y the subject:
3x+y=-4 ----> y=-4-3x
Next we want to substitute this value of y into the second equation
3x-4y=6 ----->...

f(x)=(2x+1)^0.5 for x >-0.5. Find f(12) and f'(12)

f(12)=((212)+1)^0.5=25^0.5=5 (simply substitute 12 into the original function)To find f'(12) we need to first find the derivative of the function and then we can substitute 12 in like we did before.f'...
